Hedderman takes the bounce and CBC book final date with Crescent

It was as close as forecasted, but Christian Brothers College, Cork eventually squeezed through to the Seat Munster Schools Junior Cup final with a dramatic late victory over arch- rivals Presentation College at Musgrave Park yesterday.

Full back Robert Hedderman provided the match-winning score when Eoin Monahan’s crossfield kick bounced perfectly and into the basket, the try enough to see his side into the decider against Crescent Comprehensive despite an injury-time response from the Western Road outfit.

The reaction at the end of a thriller couldn’t have been more different, with Pres coach Brian McMahon bemoaning the “horrible” bounce that eluded both an attacker and defender before allowing the try scorer grab his chance.
